This here is part 1 of the amazing 2-part cooking show we produced with beloved Israeli Master Chef Tom Franz!!!!! (I know that’s lots of exclamation points but I am super-duper excited!!!! Can you tell?!??!?!) In the heart of Biblical Jerusalem, in the gorgeous City of David courtyard, under the shade of olive trees, in front of a live audience, we prepared (as in Tom cooked and I helped) 3 recipes featuring the 7 Super Foods of the Bible aka the Sheva Minim: wheat, barley, figs, dates, pomegranates, grapes (wine), and olives (oil).

For thelast episode of Joy of Israel with Jamie Gellerwe trekked almost 4 hours to the northern tip of the country, a stones throw from Syria, to sled and see Israeli Cowboys. It was an incredible family trip but like all trips (especially those with young kids), it was good to go and even better to come home.
